"Redd Blood Cells" : THE WEEKEND MIX




You ever hear the one about Steven McDonald from the L.A. punk-pop band Redd Kross, and how he couldn't get tickets to a sold out White Stripes concert, so he went home and spent the afternoon laying down bass tracks to every song on the otherwise bassless 3rd album by The White Stripes, "White Blood Cells," sent it to Jack & Meg, and then, BOOM, Bob's your uncle? Jack & Meg love it, get him into the show and allow McDonald to post the album on his website for no more than 60,000 downloads? NO? Well, let me tell ya...

Steven McDonald couldn't get tickets to a sold out....oh nevermind.

Not sure if that story has any holes, but I like it the way I heard it.


Here is "REDD BLOOD CELLS" for those of you who weren't one of the 60,000.

Dear Meanstreets,
"Come back?" I never went anywhere.

I do want to say this though---

Why is it that most Queen, Bruce and White Stripes fans I know, love all of your Texas twang, yet you find it so hard to show any respect?

I am a " Roots " guy & the musical foundation of this country is just that, I am very proud to say...

I can help you Burning Wood, you have strayed....

Say this out loud, " I am Burning Wood " & I have a problem....

I have betrayed the type of music I believe in & am trying to " play to the mainstream ", for whatever reason.
I need help, I repent & will play only " The Louvin Brothers " for the rest of the night....
Tommorrow, only Lefty Frizzell, Monday only Merle Haggard etc.

I am here for you, Burning Wood...I have respect for other music other than " Roots ", I just look down on it.......
